Governor Chris Christie

I really don't think Governor Christie looked particularly comfortable standing next to Donald Trump last night.  Why isn't he back in New Jersey being its governor?

The Run for the Roses 2021

I thought the September version of the Kentucky Derby was an afterthought for most folks.  Authentic (the horse) was trained by Bob Baffert and probably the most memorable part of the day was the Winner's Circle chaos that knocked the trainer to the ground for a moment. Authentic went on to win 5 of 7 races in 2020 and $7.2 million dollars.  Authentic finished 2nd in the Preakness and the Santa Anita Derby but finished the year strong winning the Breeder's Cup Classic.

The Kentucky Derby is less than a m...

But First A Word About The Debate

The debate last night is getting a lot more like the crap we hear from congress.  For all the talk about needing to be aggressive and make points, stir up the base and what ever the chattering heads are saying, and fighting back, and back biting the debates so far have been lacking serious, substantial discussion of policy from both sides. I would have liked a little more dignity from the candidates.  Stepping on each other the way they did last night was more like McLaughlin Group or the NFL Pregame Shows or Sports Talk Radio talking about the Yankees. Mercifully the election will be over in about twenty days.  And somebody somewhere is already visiting Iowa and New Hampshire getting ready for 2016.
